Full description
There is nothing more exciting than experiencing the wonders of Liguria from the sea. Then take advantage of this one-day tour on board the Lord Byron motor vessel, ready to reveal Portovenere and the Cinque Terre to you from an unprecedented point of view.
It will be an opportunity to visit the main beauties of this stretch of the Ligurian coast, famous throughout the world for its colourful, picturesque villages and its rugged coastline, dominated by green reliefs that plunge steeply into the crystal-clear water.
What we will do
Departure is at 10:00 a.m. from the pier in La Spezia, from which we will set off on board the Lord Byron motorboat, a safe and modern vessel, equipped with all the main comforts, including a toilet, air conditioning, and wi-fi connection.
The first stop on the Ligurian waters will be Portovenere, famous for its picturesque views and its characteristic position, stretching out towards the sea. Here we will have about an hour and a half to visit an evocative natural cavity, called Byron's Grotto in honour of the great English Romantic poet who loved these places very much.
Next, the motorboat will take us into the Cinque Terre National Park, where we will discover the splendid villages of Monterosso and Vernazza, known throughout the world. In Monterosso we will stop for about 2 hours, during which we can stop in one of the little restaurants there or have a packed lunch on the beach (lunch not included).
Afterwards, we will head for the third and final stop, Vernazza. Here we will have another hour and a half to explore the characteristic village. At the end of the visit, we will return to the port of La Spezia, where this exciting adventure will come to an end.
The activity lasts about 8 hours.
